@HariPrasadDaksshinamurthy-8611,
There is no way to hide the address bar of the Edge browser using GPO or Registry.
Also, it is not recommended to do it. Users should see what URL they are browsing. Otherwise, it may cause security issues.

A workaround can be to add the site as an app.
1. You can go to Settings and more(ALT + F)-> Apps-> Install this site as an app to add the site.
2. Further, you can paste edge://apps/ in the address bar and press the Enter key.
3. Select the app, right-click on it. Click on Create Shortcut option. Pin it to Desktop or on the Start menu.

When you launch the app, it will not display the address bar.

Why do you want to disable the Address bar?
You couldn't completely hide or remove the address bar in Microsoft Edge but you may restrict it, take a look at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/address-bar-settings-gp
However when you are in the Kiosk mode, then you could make the address bar read only and prevent user to change it, take a look at:

Is there any command line argument for edge browser for following actions:

  • Refresh

  • Hide Address bar as well as tool bar

  • Fore ground and back ground of browser window based on user input.

Requirement from customer is not to use any kind of driver for this edge , should work with command line arguement.

@GayatriPatil-3340 ,

We could see that this thread is old now, I would suggest you create a new thread with detailed information about your question.

It could help you get more qualified suggestions for your issue.

Further, you could refer to the link mentioned in the answer for this thread. It could give you the list of command line switches for the chromium engine that could work for the Edge browser.

Best Regards,
Deepak
